70-297 =or= 70-298 is a required Design exam, but it appears to me that you
still require an Elective Exam, also.

MCDST satisfies the elective requirement for MCSA, but not MCSE. I guess
Microsoft doesn't expect MCDST duties to be among those of an MCSE even
though in most smaller shops, the network admins most likely are also the
helpdesk. It's one of those conundrum thingys.

I read that my MCDST was an elective for the MCSA, so what other exams am I
looking at completing to get my MCSE?

I entirely missed that this was a repy to a ten week old, already answered
(correctly, I might add) message, and totally missed your one-word
(incorrect, I'll reiterate) answer - for all the "noise" you left in your
message surrounding your one-word (incorrect) answer.

I thought this was a *NEW* message, and replied appropriately. (Maybe it's
better I didn't realize you were posting to a ten week old
already-answered-correctly message with an incorrect answer, or I might
likely have been much less courteous than I'm being at this particular
moment.

[Thank you John R for noticing the incorrect reply to the old post -- which
I see, was about five minutes before I posted my long-winded (and
unnecessarily re-researched) answer. ARrrggghhh.... now I gotta go take a
chill-pill so I can finish replying to other, more productive, posts.]
